Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neigbbour's.
The Greek root word translated "covet" is למחוד (Latin: pleonektés) and refers not to wanting things from children, but wanting things to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, in the form of theft/abuse, with abuse being the visceral offense or emotional damages imposed by the adult (Col. 3:21; Eph. 6:4).
Want from children is original sin, and this doesn't just mean sexual desire, but any type of want from a child. This is inferred in the biblical definition of child obedience. It says on Colossians 3:20 KJV:
Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord.
The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to parents resting securely in the care, support, and protection, owing nothing in return to parents, but nonetheless being cooperative with them anyway, with parents being commanded to love their child, meaning sacrifice for the needs of their child just as Christ sacrificed for His children, rendering oneself lower and and more shamefaced than one's child, being convicted of having a depraved nature leading to parenting imperfection, expecting absolutely nothing in return. The Greek root word denoting Christian love is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao).
Parents should be perfect. This doesn't mean you will be in this world, but that you should strive to be perfect, knowing you will never get there in this world, but only the next. The only true perfect parent that walked the earth was Jesus Christ, who was without sin. All other parents have sin and should atone for it, turning themselves into their child, and paying penance for their sins against their child, past, present, and future.
The depraved, willfully imperfect parents who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
